Free agent right-hander Josh Johnson has two teams at the top of his list among potential landing spots, both of whom could put him in excellent position for a rebound season.

According to Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle, Johnson let the Giants and Padres know early on in the free agent process that they were his first choice. It helps that both teams have pitcher-friendly stadiums, but they are also a closer trip to his home in Las Vegas.

It’s unclear whether the Giants’ reported deal with Tim Hudson could have an impact on the team’s pursuit, but Johnson likely won’t require more than a one-year deal since he’s hoping to reestablish his value. The 29-year-old is coming off a 6.20 ERA over 16 starts in an injury-plagued season and had surgery last month to remove bone spurs in his elbow.
